Many Loose Ends

Captain’s Log Stardate 47010.1 Now that it has come down to it, there are so many details to take care of. Having my personal effects transferred to the ship; sorting through last minute correspondence; reading status reports on weapons systems, power systems, sensors, replicators, deflectors, structural power systems, and even turbo lifts. To saying nothingContinue reading “Many Loose Ends”

Counting Down the Days

Captain’s Log Stardate: 47008.6 Two days until I officially take command of the U.S.S. Avenger NCC 53505. There needs to be a word that describes that feeling of both anxiety and eagerness. I can’t wait to start, but at the same time I’m apprehensive. But I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it. I’ve heardContinue reading “Counting Down the Days”

Unsettling News from Bajor

Personal Log Stardate: 47007.7 I’ve just got a subspace message from my brother Rerku. He is a Vedek at the Mercou Monastery and He wrote to me that Vedek Winn is gaining more support in the Vedek Assembly. That’s not good news. She is, for all reports, a power hungry Vedek who manipulates those whoContinue reading “Unsettling News from Bajor”

Kicking my Heels

Personal Log Stardate: 47006.8 So, I have plenty of time these days. With the Admiral blocking access to the Avenger (he wants me to study up more on the technical schematics), I don’t have much on my calendar. As a result, I’ve been reviewing my personal library, rereading some of my favorites, and thus haveContinue reading “Kicking my Heels”

A Little Bit of Nostalgia

Personal Log Stardate: 47006.3 Recently, I’ve been thinking about my heritage and upbringing. I caught a scent from one the food vendors on Utopia Planetia and it instantly brought me back to home. The vendor was using a combination of spices that remind of one of my childhood favorites. My father used to cook anContinue reading “A Little Bit of Nostalgia”

A Longing for Home

Personal Log Stardate 47004.4 After talking with Vedek Marsel, and reviewing the Klingon doctor’s work on Bajor, I am so very homesick. Having grown up on Usal IV, I’ve never spent much time on my home world. I’ve visited only once the Cardassians left, right after Bajor was liberated. What a glorious homecoming that was!Continue reading “A Longing for Home”

Intelligence Conference

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken. — Oscar Wilde. Captain’s log Stardate: 47001.8 Two weeks.  Two whole weeks—what a waste.  Twenty or so intelligent specialists guessing at what a dozen different hostiles might be doing.  We spent two whole days on the Ferengi, the Ferengi!  A species who can be placated with replicated gold.Continue reading “Intelligence Conference”
